       | I originally thought this was only going to be a history of the
       | use/development of information and media, but it seems the
       | timeline on the page is basically a history of humans in general.
       | I guess it is a great history of information and media, just not
       | what I was expecting. There are some cool articles linked in some

       | The author also has a website for medicine and biology history
       | and has written books on internet/cyberspace history.
